12 ft drifts - . Hope that's not a sign of what the winter is going to be like - could be a long, cold one.

Yeah,,that front was a weird one! I live close to St.Louis,,That front piled snow north west of us,,as it moved South and east it turned to heavy rain.As it approached St louis it was just early enough in the morning that it kind of fizzled out barely giving us some scattered showers. A little later in the day it regained its strength and caused flash floods in Louisville Ky.!!All we really got was A.M. temps in the 40's and a high of 63,,down from 80's the day before. Looks like we are in for weird weather this year!!

I heard yesterday it was going to be a cold winter here, but not a lot of snow.

But being's how they can't forecast weather for tomorrow, take it for what it's worth.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, we have an 80% chance of having a very cold winter this year.

Don't forget, having plenty of pizza and Chinese food on hand will guarantee survival in even the coldest weather....
